Divergent Annexin A1 expression in periphery and gut is associated with systemic immune activation and impaired gut immune response during SIV infection. [PDF]
HIV-1 disease progression is paradoxically characterized by systemic chronic immune activation and gut mucosal immune dysfunction, which is not fully defined.

Gut immune dysfunction through impaired innate pattern recognition receptor expression and gut microbiota dysbiosis in chronic SIV infection. [PDF]
HIV targets the gut mucosa early in infection, causing immune and epithelial barrier dysfunction and disease progression. However, gut mucosal sensing and innate immune signaling through mucosal pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) during HIV infection ...

Dynamics of SIV-specific CXCR5+ CD8 T cells during chronic SIV infection [PDF]
Significance Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-specific follicular CD8 T cells represent a unique subset of antiviral CD8 T cells that rapidly expand during pathogenic SIV infection, localize within B-cell follicles, and contribute to control of chronic SIV replication.

Protection of rhesus macaques from SIV infection by immunization with different experimental SIV vaccines. [PDF]
The immunogenicity and efficacy of an inactivated whole SIVmac (32H) preparation adjuvanted with muramyl dipeptide (SIV-MDP) and a gp120-enriched SIVmac (32H) ISCOM preparation (SIV-ISCOM), were compared by immunizing four rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

TIGIT Marks Exhausted T Cells, Correlates with Disease Progression, and Serves as a Target for Immune Restoration in HIV and SIV Infection. [PDF]
HIV infection induces phenotypic and functional changes to CD8+ T cells defined by the coordinated upregulation of a series of negative checkpoint receptors that eventually result in T cell exhaustion and failure to control viral replication.

Protection against highly pathogenic SIV by BCG-SIV recombinant priming and attenuated replicating vaccinia-SIV recombinant boosting [PDF]
Methods Indian rhesus macaques were immunized with rBCG-SIV expressing SIV Gag, Env, or Rev-Tat-Nef (RTN) fusion proteins via subcutaneous injection, followed with two boosts with the Gag-, Env-, RT-, or RTN-expressing m8Δ by skin scarification. Eight weeks after the 2nd boost, macaques were challenged up to 5 times with a low dose of SIVmac251 by the ...
